PLAYERS
Really good point that off the back of Tuesday’s result. Lets go on a run now.
@mcglashan7
FANS
Thought first half was good and deserved to lead but second half was poor.
@kristofshrimper
Badly missed Ranger. More creativity required and pace up front as well. We also need more forward runs from Lenny.
@deanallum
Really low quality game. If that is our squad in a month we will really struggle.
@moorhouse79
Dull and boring. Too much sideways and backwards passing Any forward balls hoofed up field. Tough to watch.
@shrimperjon
Worrying just how hard it is to play and please our home crowd.
@mwelly7
Thought it was an improved home performance. Still need to be passing the ball forward more decisively and preferably quicker. The two Macs were both good today. The much maligned Mooney also deserves credit.
@kaylalula
I did think it was a generous penalty. He was basically right in front of him.
@ljarvis27
Need two new centre-backs sharpish.
@sammadden1989
Our defence doesn’t seem to have any confidence in Oxley. Will he come off his line this season or not?
@fatboyclarky
Think all Southend fans are behind the players. Behind Brown? Not so much.
@peterrmiles
I thought McGlashan made a huge difference when he entered the play. Creative, quick and accurate crosses.
@woodhousesimon
Need some pace up front
@monster_721
Decent but we need Nile back as soon as possible because from the first 20 minutes at Sheffield he was very impressive.
@sufcsouthend135
Dominated first 30 minutes. Think if Nile Ranger was on pitch we would’ve gone into half-time winning. Need that type of striker.
@rourkeluke
Thought Blues did OK but didn’t look dangerous. Shocking to concede from another set piece.
@stuartwalters7
August is a write-off, where were the early signings? Don’t buy the Brown excuses as other teams have players in
@mtaters7
Soft penalty saves Brown from loads more abuse.
@garymartin1981
To concede the amount we do from set pieces is criminal. Without learning to defend we won’t progress anywhere.
@ryansmyth94
Still same problems, defending set pieces and creativity. Need a dominant CB, partner for Cox and a midfield maestro.
@philjd52
All this does is paper over alarming cracks and keep Brown in a job for another week.
@ice_speedway
Occasional islands of averageness in a sea of direness. Without adding at least three new players we could go down.
@shrimperlee
Hard working display but lack quality up front to win us games. Essential to get a forward in before the deadline.
@tommyharris57
Positives are that we looked defensively solid. However we are still needing that player who can break down the opposition.
